FS Only: Zon Sonus 519 - $1400 Shipped!!

Sign in to disble this ad
I had to create a new thread, because I couldn't edit the title in the other one. For Sale only now. I picked up another bass yesterday, so funds would be nice.

I've owned 10 Zon's, and I always come back to them for their great tone and rock solid, no maintenance build quality. The tone in this bass is HUGE. Beautiful setup with no fretbuzz. Very versatile preamp, VERY organic tone, especially for a composite neck. Fantastic fingerstyle and slap tone. Incredibly stable neck. Perfect amount of relief. If you have struggled with changing climates, or need a super stable bass for the road, this bass is for you!

Premium Ash Body
Flamed Maple Top
Bartolini Single Coil Pickups
Bartolini Three Band Preamp with Mid Freq Selector Switch
Composite Neck with Satin Finish
Phenolwood Fretted Fingerboard
35 Inch Scale
19 MM Spacing at Bridge
Includes USED Warwick Gigbag or for $125 more you can have it in an iGig 525.


Alright, now the details. This bass is not MINT. It has some wear under the G from slapping; the finish has started to dull a little bit. Has the same wear over the B string from a thumb resting there. Also, the bass has quite a few tiny impressions in the clear coat on the front and back. Just want to be clear that this bass has some player wear. One of the tuner keys has a cap missing on the back. Frets, neck, electronics are perfect. All wear is cosmetic, and not bad at all. Bass has a fresh setup and a brand new set of DR Hi-Beams on it.

$1400 OBO shipped. eCheck or MO preferred.















The impressions in the clear coat. None of them go through the finish.

Make me an offer. I'll open it up to trades and trades + cash if that helps. Cash offers will get top priority though. I could use a really nice hi-fi bedroom setup (Genz Benz, PJB, MarkBass, etc.) or a recording interface. Open to other basses too I suppose. Mostly just Fender, Roscoe, MTD, Warrior, or Tobias. 4, 5, or 6.

HOLY SMOKE .... how is this bass still here????
519's don't come around very often ... too bad it wasn't around late this summer when I was hunting for one.

Oh Zon ... lead me not into temptation.

519's are indeed rare, and IMO the best of the Sonus models Joe Zon makes. I chalk it up to a rotten economy and the holidays. Minor player wear aside this is a nice bass at a LOW price.
